After the blood is dumped on Carrie, Miss Collins is devastated. The only person who was laughing was dorky Norma, who was the last person in the room to be laughing at somebody else.
Dorky Norma!
P.J. Soles was great at making her Norma, one of those annoying and snitchy little high school bitches that sat between the other dorky kids and the clique populars and trying desperately to rise above the outcasts. The populars used these kind of kids. Norma needed a good slap too, just as much as Chris needed hers. Not that is made any difference. Chris just got more resentful and hateful.
I love how you assess the psychology of that slap Collins gave Chris and it is pretty much spot on. A slap from Billy, one of her peers, didn't have the same impact as a slap from her female PE teacher. It didn't involve sexuality and desire. Collins gave it to her hard and cold, plus she was an authority figure.
With Collins, in the book as King wrote her (Miss Desjardin), she gave Carrie a slap also to snap her out of her hysteria in the shower, had an urge to laugh at Carrie's blood dump as well. I guess this was more out of shock. She also survives in the book too.
As De Palma filmed it, he makes it a tad vague as to it being in Carrie's mind, or if Collins was really laughing at her. The shock at what suddenly happened to Carrie and Tommy, and while this was rigged for Carrie and Tommy to win, (in the book Billy really didn't care who it was), it wasn't just about a direct assault on Carrie, but her prom king too, and as it turned out the rest of the attendees at the prom. The heavy metal bucket fall onto his head is what killed Tommy.
I do feel it was De Palma's intention to make it appear it was in Carrie's mind about Collins laughing, due to shock, her mother's haunting voice and the kaleidoscopic images passing through her mind. Collins was on Carrie's side. She would have been shocked too and was the one that was then concerned for Tommy lying motionless on the stage.
Norman! What did you put in my tea? -
